Guerrilla War is really cool. Yeah, you can easily credit feed it, but it's nice that you can also challenge yourself to credit limits as well. I have the arcade pcb of it as well that I sometimes swap into my Time Soldiers cabinet (it also used the rotart joysticks). The arcade version is pretty brutal in its difficulty. The fact that it only gives you 8 directions to shoot with the rotary sticks makes it feel like you never have just the right angle to hit your enemies without them hitting you first. Some games, like Time Soldiers, give you 12 positions, making it simpler to find a good shooting angle... then again, none of that has anything to do with the video. Kickle Cubicle is great as well.

I’m also gonna side with the other commenters who’d put SMB3 over SMB1. SMB3’s item reserve feature, P-wings, tighter jump physics, and generous extra lives made it the much easier game to beat, IMO.

This is actually a really awesome and smart list. The NES is just notorious for some of the hardest video games ever made. I agree that Super Mario Bros is an easy game. In fact the vast majority of Mario games are quite easy. They're only hard if you're not familiar with video games in general or if you're not familiar with the genre of said Mario spin-off. But yeah there are some people out there who say that Super Mario Bros is hard but it really isn't. The only Mario games I find hard are the lost levels and too many of the custom levels in Super Mario Maker 1 especially and yeah definitely some of them in Super Mario Maker 2 as well. Some of the Mario spin-offs are pretty hard but most of them not so much. It's cool to see that Mega Man 6 is considered an easy NES game. I grew up in the '90s and loved playing SNES, N64, PS1, and Genesis growing up but I never actually played a Mega Man game until way later. First time was with Mega Man 1 which I downloaded to the Wii virtual console and that game is brutal. I later played some Mega Man games on Mega Man collection on 3DS and I started playing the First four games but found them all to be so difficult Although I do think I noticed it being a little morgue forgiving and generous Although I do think I noticed it being a little more forgiving in the later games but I never got around to playing Mega Man 5 and 6 on there. I actually haven't played my 2DS in years since I have a switch now but hey they added all six of the Mega Man games on the NES catalog so perhaps all finally get five and six a try

5 is where it started going downhill for me, and you can tell they were grabbing for straws to anticipate the next gen era, 6 is....it's easy, and I like that, but it's also the lame duck to me. Even Capcom didn't want to release it in America, but Nintendo pushed them to.

@@Fortefyre I might have reacted to Mega Man the same way that you have if I had ever gotten around to playing it back when I was a kid in the '90s.

Lose everybody by the time I get to world 5-1. And have everyone plus some new people by the time I get to world 8-1 thru 8-4. Then when you beat the game you get to start all over with a harder difficulty 😠 Needless to say when I reached that point I was so hungry and thirsty after an hour of playing I would let my quarter be taken over. It was funny to watch because many of the kids who were there had never seen the "end" screen only for there to be more of the same but with buzzy beetles. It was funny watching those kids armed with about 30 free Marios trying to play against those buzzy beetles. 😂 I doubt they even made it past the second stage.

5:23 Not counting the Kirby's return the Dreamland remaster on Switch, actually Kirby's dream buffet came out months after Kirby and the forgotten Land so therefore as recent as Kirby and The forgotten Land was, it's not the most recent game. And I could tell by the date of this video that yes Kirby's Dream buffet would have already come out by the time you uploaded this. 5:43 Ray guy as far as I've heard was the greatest punter of all time. However in 1986 the team was called the Los Angeles raiders. Did you mean to say 1976 because he definitely was on the team in 1976 when they won the Super bowl for the first time and they were the Oakland raiders then.

Some of the games on this list I've already won and some others already are/are going to be in my bucket list of games to beat, so thanks! Nice choices either way :D The easiest game I remember beating on the NES was probably Where's Waldo?, a 15 minute playthrough at most. But maybe it couldn't be on this list because you'd consider it an edutainment title? Either way check it out, it won't cost you a lot of time ^^

Cobra Triangle? Um, no. You didn't do your research on this one my friend. Not even close. Cobra Triangle isn't remotely an "easy" game, let alone one of the top ten easiest games on the NES. I doubt you've even played it all the way through.

Cobra Triangle being on here is like having Air Fortress or Battletoads on an Easiest games list. Sure, you can sleepwalk past the first couple levels, but right after that it gets relentless.

Great list, with Rescue Rangers being the first game I thought of for this topic as well. However, I can’t agree with Super Mario Bros on the list. While everyone should absolutely play it, the game is much more difficult than the two sequels. SMB2 has four different characters with very different abilities that can make specific levels in the game much easier. It also has a bonus chance game at the end of each level that is easy to exploit for unlimited lives. SMB3 is also fairly easy to earn free lives, plus it has a power-up that allows you to easily fly thru almost any level. The world map also makes it possible to skip levels altogether. SMB1, on the other hand, is the most difficult to earn free lives, and the two characters are identical in ability. The jumping mechanic is also not nearly as refined. I’d list SMB3 as the easiest of the NES Mario games, but I’m not sure any of them belong on this list.

I love them all, though, of course. Have you played Bugs Bunny’s Birthday Blowout? If not, I think you’ would probably enjoy it, and it would be a great game for this list, imo.

Interesting list. I appreciate the lovely story of you and your daughter buying the Little Mermaid game, that hits soft! But I have to disagree with Cobra Triangle and Mega Man IV as being "easy" games. They are very challanging and requires a lot of practice. I recently played through Cobra and that game is not nice to you at boss fights and protecting people from kidnapping missions. I would replace those two with; DuckTales and Yoshi's Cookie as easier fun games!

There are a ton of games easier than Mega Man 6. Honestly, 2-6 are all pretty much the same, the original is much harder. They're just lengthy, which adds a bit of difficulty. Contra is an easy game (for me), I've beaten it with the regular shotgun without dying, it still takes only 15-20 minutes. A lot more difficult to beat any Mega Man game without losing a life. Good list, I'd just take a few off of there.
